WORKING HOURS
Travel and irregular work schedules over a seven-day week are an integral part of working as a tour guide. However, you’ll be able to take a sufficient amount of time off once the tourist season has passed.
Many tour guides also have more than one job, since this is not a profession which can keep you fully occupied on a long-term basis.
Tourist seasons differ by country and region: it may be possible to work abroad as a tour guide during the UK’s low season, as the peak tourist seasons in different countries will understandably differ. In order to do this, you’ll understandably need to be willing to travel outside the UK.
